Instructions <strong>for</strong> <strong>Children</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Parents</strong> 123<br />
World War II. Many, many, many people were killed. They suffered a<br />
brutal death.<br />
3. At Fatima, she showed the three young children the fires <strong>of</strong> hell. They<br />
were very young, <strong>and</strong> they said they would have died <strong>of</strong> fright had Our<br />
Lady not assured them that they would not go to hell.<br />
4. Why would Our Lady appear to children <strong>and</strong> show children the souls<br />
suffering in the fires in hell?<br />
5. Mary appears at Fatima, <strong>and</strong> she is ignored. To this very day we do not<br />
do what Mary told us to do at Fatima. At Fatima she promised in the<br />
end the Sacred Heart <strong>of</strong> Jesus will reign, <strong>and</strong> her heart will triumph.<br />
6. Jesus <strong>Christ</strong> came into the world in the womb <strong>of</strong> the Virgin Mary. He<br />
came as the Light <strong>of</strong> the World. He will be, in this great era <strong>of</strong> peace to<br />
come, the King <strong>and</strong> the center <strong>of</strong> all hearts.<br />
7. He came in poverty. He was born in a stable. He came to show us that<br />
the great riches are not found in the riches <strong>of</strong> the world, that they are<br />
found in Him. He is the King, but He comes into this world in poverty.<br />
8. The greatest riches are found in the Heart <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>.<br />
9. It is so simple. Why do we not love God, why do we not love one another?<br />
10. Why does man think that he can ignore God, that he is in control, that<br />
he can do his own will?<br />
The Presentation <strong>of</strong> Jesus in the Temple<br />
1. The old man Simeon said in the Temple that “Look, he is destined <strong>for</strong> the<br />
fall <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> the rise <strong>of</strong> many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed—” (Lk.<br />
2:34)<br />
2. And he said to Mary, “<strong>and</strong> a sword will pierce your soul too—so that the secret<br />
thoughts <strong>of</strong> many may be laid bare.” (Lk. 2:35)<br />
3. Mary is the Mother <strong>of</strong> all the children <strong>of</strong> the world, <strong>and</strong> look how she is<br />
treated by so many <strong>of</strong> her children. Many abuse her name. They abuse<br />
her images. They do not love her. She is their Mother, <strong>and</strong> they do not<br />
love her.<br />
4. Mary told us at Fatima what we must do in order to have peace in this<br />
world. The fourth comm<strong>and</strong>ment tells us we must obey our earthly<br />
mother. What makes us think that we do not have to obey our heavenly<br />
Mother?<br />
5. She said that man was sinful <strong>and</strong> that he was <strong>of</strong>fending God. She said<br />
to Jacinta be<strong>for</strong>e she died, “I can no longer restrain the h<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> my<br />
Divine Son from striking the world with just punishment <strong>for</strong> its many<br />
crimes.” 29
